BACK TO THEIR BOOKS.
The Public Schools Open With an Increase of
Several Hundred Pupils in Attendance.

Yesterday was a momen tous day for the youth
of the city, as it put an end to their summer va
cation and set them moro at their studies.
Ii one might Judge from their faces as they
passed along the street. or thronged the book
stores for the purchase of the books that their
advancing grades make necessary for them
there were not many who regretted getting back
again to their books and their old friends. Pos
sibly the latter had more to do with their COM
placency than the former.
AT any rate, they came, and came in goodly
numbers. Superintendent Jones states that the
exact numbers cannot yet be given, but that he
estimates, from appearances, an increase of en-
roilment over last year to the extent of 500 or
possibly GOO. The enrolment last year was a.
765. This will make the school buildings some
what crowded, but it is thought all can be ac-
commodated It is very certain that several
new buildings will be required within few
years. There has been no new building erected
for three years.
The number OF teachers in the schools will not
be increased. In fact, they cannot well be
without increase of rooms. The result OF
increased attendance therefore, is that each
teacher has more pupils to instruct and the in
struction given to each individual is correspond
ingly lessened.

Criminal Train yyrecking.

ST. JOSEPH. Mo-. Sept. 12-An attempt was
made, yesterday, to wreck south bound pas
senger train on the Chicago Kansas d Nebraska
road at Sanford, a station six miles out OF To-
peka, Kan AS the engineer was coming round
a at the rate of thirty miles an hour. he
saw that switch was open. he put on the
brakes and reversed his engine, called to his
fireman to follow him, and jump ped from the cab.
The engine ran into some empty cars that were
standing the track, and while smashing them
was itself completely wrecked. The baggage
and mail cars were ruined. and, with the coaches,
were thrown from the track. Fortunately no
lives were lost. and none of the passengers were
injured. An examination of the open switch
showed that it had been broken and turned with
the evident intention of wreckipg the train.
